We Can Help You Stand Up to Your Employer
"Protected class" is a term used to describe select groups of people who are protected from acts of harassment and discrimination. If you believe you have been discriminated against or wrongfully terminated, contact us to learn more about your options.
We represent clients who believe they hit a "glass ceiling", i.e. received lower pay, were denied advancement, were laid off or terminated, or were otherwise treated unfairly on the basis of their:
- Age
- Gender or sex
- National origin
- Pregnancy
- Race
- Color
- Religious beliefs
- Sexual orientation
- Disability status
- Veteran status
Were You Treated Unfairly in a Layoff?
In recent times, layoffs or reductions in the work force have become common. While this is part of doing business in a tough economy, the law provides strong protections against employee discrimination.
Your employer is not allowed to use a round of layoffs as an opportunity to get rid of a select group of individuals. For example, if your company only let go individuals older than 40 and held onto those who were younger, it may justify a discrimination claim.
Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), most employers with 100 or more employees must provide a 60-day advance notification of any plant closing or mass layoff. If you were part of a large layoff and did not receive any advance notice, you may have a claim against your employer.
